Welcome to the Two-Front War Against Woke

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 154

It is upon us: the fight against Woke is now a two-front war. On our Left, we have Woke Marxism that hasn't gone away. Arising rapidly from our Right, we now also have a Woke Fascism that threatens to ruin everything we've accomplished. Those of us who love America now have to fight the battle against Woke on two fronts: Woke Left and Woke Right. In this free-ranging episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay discusses the current landscape in the civilizational fight against Woke in all its manifestations. Join him for an uncomfortable update on the state of the union.

Stay the path, James. Liars tell lies, and they disguise themselves all kinds of ways (e.g. communists, socialists, national socialists, white supremacists, wokists, etc.) I'm with you up to now, because you have shown discernment. You think for yourself, and you're a beast at battling the halfwitted/midwit clowns. Keep up the good fight James Lindsay.

Thank you for all you do. My friends and family are grateful for you and your sacrifices. God speed and God bless

You can’t preemptively pardon someone for a crime they might get caught up with in the future.

DEI is only being removed from public documents and written policies. It will be implemented in all the unwritten rules and policies.

Blaming the LA wildfires on climate change, when it clearly was the fault of mismanagement and irresponsibility, damages the credibility of the climate change movement. It makes it look as though “climate change” is a reflexive excuse rather than an actual scientific problem.

Woke is not going to go easy into the night, unfortunately.

[Jensz-letsdothis]

Thank you for talking about this ... please keep talking. Lots of us out here listening, doing what we can and praying.

This was great James.
I really appreciate the sober appraisal of our current situation.
It is truly foolish for us to think these people collapsed this easily.
The Bailey has been bombed (mostly).
Time to steal the Motte too.

"Manifest Destiny" Trump made that a keynote to his speech, a message to our friends and a warning to our enemies. Also a kick in the arse to the DEI/Woke. Brilliant.

I stand (and man spread sit) with James

I went on to Rumble to study the more extreme political ppl out there like fuentes and wayyy worse and the rampant insane racism, antisemitism, and just nonstop hate talking about how America isnt great anymore and they "Notice patterns" aka they see jews and say something they see blacks and aay something. They always find somethign wrong with even the most intelligent and articulate black man or Jew.


Its old school disgusting racism with the anti american sentiment attached to it.


The woke right is very real.

Once I saw Sargon advocating for Gandhi’s statue to be removed I finally realized what the woke right was

The reason it is "off the cuff" is because that is where you would hide your notes - on the cuff of your shirt - when you wanted to look well prepared. I suppose someone has to be over 60 to know that.

[judithzoe]

i’m so relieved to have someone talking about the woke right. i had just begun noticing this phenomenon developing and affecting me. i basically feel how i did when i left the left. i’m politically homeless again because i don’t want to identify with nazis who want women to be in chattel slavery lol. i’ve never been offended by opinions and i can handle questioning anything, but this stuff is just childish at this point. not everything is black and white which is exactly why i left the left. i care more about people than extreme ideologies. not to mention that extremism just really doesn’t play well with the masses. it’s too much for people to keep up with

A battle was won, but only a battle in a longer war.

[nathanmullins]

Grand summation, Thank You from another Christian for your witness of the truth

[Jersey-towncrier]

3:45 I've just begun a short essay on the idea of liberating us from the so-called "liberation movements" that have been popping up at least since the Protestant Revolution, but probably since mankind first got the idea of his own perfectibility in his own mind.

[christianbolt]

The woke right is a good term for this corrosive group.
The woke left couldn’t wish a bigger gift, as they love over reaction.
The conservatives, liberals, and center need stick to healthy guiding principles in our pushback
